The Documentary Film Center was established in 2012, and in the summer of 2013 moved to its permanent location in the Provision warehouses near Park Kultury underground station. The Center sets the goal to popularize documentary, scientific and educational films. Due to its unusual new program the Center has turned into a popular educational and cultural platform in no time. Apart from the daily cinema program, there are also public screenings of documentary films followed by panel discussions, themed lectures, workshops, conferences and film festivals. One of the most exciting projects initiated by the Center is the public lecture programme: the prominent politicians, journalists, artists and other public figures are invited regularly to host a lecture there. For example, in the spring of 2013 Mikhail Gorbachev gave a talk here, and anyone could attend it free of charge. In order to get to the open lectures, visitors should sign up and book a spot for themselves on the Center’s website. The tickets for the daily cinema program can be purchased at the counter.
